Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion
Ms Paula Hilman:
Our message is that we will still be out policing the roads and detecting those who break the law. Our message to everyone is to please slow down. Part of the campaign we are doing this week is to get people to slow down. Speed contributes to a high number of fatal road traffic collisions. All of us slowing down by 5% could reduce the number of fatal road traffic collisions by 30%. Please slow down. Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs. Do not be distracted and wear your seat belt. Those are the four things - do not speed, do not drive under the influence of drink or drugs, do not be distracted and wear a seat belt.
